O.C.G.A. § 33-45-9: Provisions of this chapter not subject to waiver.

No act, agreement, or statement of any resident, or of an individual purchasing continuing care or limited continuing care for a resident, under any continuing care agreement to furnish care to the resident shall constitute a valid waiver of any provision of this chapter intended for the benefit or protection of the resident or the individual purchasing care for the resident; provided, however, that nothing in this Code section shall be construed to prohibit a continuing care agreement from providing for a resident or prospective resident to agree to arbitration prior to bringing any action pursuant to Code Section 33-45-12.
